Back to Work: Forever 21


After some lunch we headed back down Fifth Avenue and tried to visit the High Street side of things. We had been recommended to go and look at Forever 21 as they were supposed to have a lot of throwaway fashion at low prices.

We went through the doors and were greeted with a shop that looked like a cross between New Look and Primark. There were clothes absolutely everywhere leaving very little space to walk around and to hinder us even more the shop was packed with people. We had to edge our way through everybody to look at the clothes on the racks. The floor was set out in a similar way to New Look, with some circular racks dotted around the centre at waist height and then a veriety of bars at the sides with some other items. However, I did feel like you had to hunt to find items that would work together, which reminded me more of Primark.
I did eventually manage to find a boyfriend style shirt that was pin striped blue and white, it had roll up sleeves and I bought in a larger size than I needed so that I could wear it over more fitted items for a layered look.
My best buy in forever 21 was a sheer pink top with black and pearl embellishment on the neckline. I bought a pink strap top to wear underneath and will wear with black leggings and boots for a smart/casual night out.
I found Forever 21 quite a stressful shopping environment.
